Fused's missing brands

[Dofurion]

I have been wanting to touch on this subject for a while now. The unknown marks of the Fused are something that has been a long time coming, especially because of the Surges they are associated with (Tension and Division). Since at first glance it seems that the Fused use the Surges in the opposite way to how the Radiants do, I have a couple of ideas of what these could be like:

• Tension: I imagine these fused beings as shell-less singers who can strengthen their bodies to the point of being able to stop a Shardblade. Why don't I think they have a shell? Well, because it seems redundant to me with the Magnified One.
• Division: In a conversation with a friend, the joke came up that being a Fused of Division must be horrible since you would be falling apart all the time. To that another answered that not necessarily since if we base ourselves on the Nex-im, he could well have a way of reconstructing his body. To that I lost that perhaps his ability is to divide in a process similar to mitosis but momentary. This could happen if they possess the same quantum properties of the Spren.

What do you people think?

Have to remember that they could also do the opposite, make their bodies more flexible instead. So they could fall from great heights and simply bounce, stretch themselves a bit, contort themselves into smaller areas. Stuff like that.

I would've liked it if the Thunderclasts were the Tension brand, but there's a wob that seems to say they aren't Fused.

It would be cool if the Division brand was always on fire like the Human Torch or more draconic than crab.

I suspect the Division Brand is like the Illumonaton Brand in that it's nearly identical to the normal surge, if perhaps more limited.  Im guessing Division Brands get the Decay ability of the Division Surge as a Touch attack, letting them cause a Decay, crumbling, or ignition of a target they can touch. 

For Tension, it might be cool if they can do similar things to Sand Mastery, but using their own Blood.  This would pair them with the Progression Brand that manipulates their own flesh/Carapace into tools, the Tension folks do it with Blood.  Im envisioning them using their own blood primarily but them being able to mix in other blood with theirs to gain larger volumes to use.

Now I can only imagine the Tension Fused Brand as stretching like Luffy from One Piece
